Subject: How should Halo Reach start?

And when he realizes he was wrong, it will be too late...

I think Halo Reach should have the first level take place in orbit above Reach as the Master Chief for the portion of the battle he is in. In the level, you should get to witness the stuff that happened in the novel, including Linda getting shot. Then you make it back to the Pillar of Autumn and meet Captain Keyes and witness the jump into space. The first part of the level would be like normal good old Halo combat, then the last part would be like an interactive cutscene that sets up Halo: Combat Evolved. After the first level, Bungie can introduce the new characters.

I think that would be a bit confusing to a lot of people. Not everyone has read the novels, so people would be wondering why they played as chief for one mission then he took off into space for the rest of/most of the game. (depending on how they make the storyline)

I would have it start in Fred's position when he starts planning the mission to protect the MAC generators. It would be a less confusing start and would not pull the character away from Fred for a long time.

A marine aboard a spacecraft tells you to look up and down, left and right at these red pads, and when you do, they turn green, then he askes you to do it again, but this time it is inverted. Then he askes if you would like to keep it that way, or the other way.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

I don't know. Probably something that explains what is Reach and what is happening.

Yup, I think they should give some background information on the Spartans before plunging right into the action. Such as their abduction, augmentation, and training.
